Curious

I have been on these forums for many many years now.
I am just curious as to why most reported thefts and crime are from the West and South West.
Seems the Northeast is kind of a nirvana compared to the rest of the country.
  • the only theft from a campsite we have ever experienced took place in a state park in indiana. that was ~1987. most of our RV travel is west of the Mississippi.
  • I had a step ladder stolen 2 years ago right from under the camper (Indiana). Every since, we keep everything locked up if not in actual use. Yes, it's a pain in the neck, but nothing has come up missing since.
  • Thieves are everywhere.
    Secure your stuff, no matter where you are.
  • Then the SW is a bigger attraction for RVers with all the national parks, and snow bird destinations than the NW.
    No one else has the BLM land either, empty, ungarded, remote…
